Tara: Company Name- Name: Goddess VodkaImagery: (instead of a necklace) do a tiara with the state flower being the crowning tip
Recipe (from Seattle Times)
Recipe: Huckleberry'cello Makes 5 to 6 cups
- 1 (750 ml) bottle high-quality vodka
- 1 ½ cups washed wild huckleberries,
- 1 lemon washed
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 1 cup water 1. Divide the vodka and washed berries between 2 clean glass quart jars with lids. 2. With a potato peeler, peel the zest from the lemon, being sure not to get any white pith. Divide the zest between the jars. (Use the rest of the lemon for another purpose.) 3. Cap the jars and shake well. Let sit at room temperature for 2 weeks, shaking the jars every couple of days. After 2 weeks, bring the sugar and water to a boil in a large saucepan, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Boil for 2 minutes and then let cool to room temperature. 4. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the vodka from the huckleberries and zest into a big bowl to catch every drop! (Be sure to press out all the liquid you can from the berries before you discard them.) Mix the cooled sugar syrup into the strained liquor. Stir to combine. At this point, you can bottle your Huckleberry'cello into fancy bottles or into clean clear wine bottles. Cork and store for up to one year.
To serve: I like to serve the liqueur after dinner in small cordial glasses or on the rocks.
Pour the chocolate liqueur, creme de cacao, vodka, and creamer into a cocktail shaker over ice. Cover, and shake until the outside of the shaker has frosted. Dip the rim of a chilled martini glass in chocolate syrup. Strain the cocktail into the glass to serve.
Bottles that appeal to Tara:
The New Yorker
Opera Nuevo
750ml Vida
Lucca (Wine bottle)
Labels that appeal to me:
*Neve (but not sure what bottle it is?)
*Okanagan Spirits
*Oro Hazelnut (wine)
Top Three Favorites:
Simple designs, Cool looking bottles, Draws the eye
Appeal to Nic:
Bottle that is slim and easy to grip but allows enough space for graphic and label. I like the wine bottle idea as most women I know like wine and this will allow the marketing to immediately grab attention to wine drinkers as well as spirit drinkers. I like the blue of the Neve Vodka as well as Tara.

Chef's Note: If you like your liqueur a bit sweeter, increase the sugar to 2 cups.
